Riesling makes an excellent sparkling wine, Sekt. I really like it

Great to see you back! Riesling has become by far the favorite white wine for me and my dining companion because it is beautifully aromatic and powerfully acidic, while unbeatably versatile in food pairing to our culinary style (Korean-Italian base with influences from other cuisines, moderate-high spiciness). Recently exploring the village-level wines of Kamptal, Austria and Nahe, Germany, we have been totally impressed by their minerality, concentration, and particular ability to pair with strong-flavored fish (yay, Omega-3 fish!). However, our house wines have been a Finger Lakes (2022) and Washington State Riesling (in 2021) that over-delievered on a QPR level--pretty comparable to the aforementioned two in broad categories of flavors, except for a shorter finish and lower fruit concentration at ~half the price. Plus, Riesling serves as our wine "Yin" to the "Yang" of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines for steaks!

I’ve been drinking Riesling from Mosel now that summer has began even in the far north (Finland).
